Chapter 37 aroused public outrage.
In less than a day, the media went to Nanbian Town and found out the whole story. Zhou's public relations team came out to explain, but no one believed them.
No matter how much money Zhou Hengzhi spent to bribe the media, it was not as convincing to the public as the series of materials published by a reporter who personally went to Nanbian Village.
A video of Zhou Jin was leaked, in which she made extremely arrogant remarks, which aroused public outrage.
"So what if you're rich?"
"Those who bully the elderly, pregnant women, and the poor should go to jail!"
Seeing his negative emotions rising, Zhou Hengzhi smashed the tablet in his hand with a bang.
Ah Huan shook his head, "Tsk tsk... the eighth one."
"Now, send someone to that village and tell those villagers to stop talking nonsense!"
"If we could go, we would have gone long ago. The media would be preparing to spend the night in the village."
"These media outlets only know how to make fun of the Zhou family..."
"Who wouldn't want to see the Zhou family make a fool of themselves?"
As soon as Ah Huan finished speaking, he saw Zhou Hengzhi staring intently at him. "You want to see it too?"
"No, no, no, there's no way to deal with this. Things have gotten out of control."
Zhou Hengzhi had a terrible headache and asked, "Everything was fine. It was well-sealed, so why was it suddenly exposed? I gave you a day."
"There are too many news reports; we need to check them one by one."
Just as Ah Huan finished speaking, his phone rang. He glanced at it, "President Zhou..."
"Any news?"
"It's Shang Xingchuan..."
Bang!
Zhou Hengzhi scattered things all over the table, and A Huan gasped, "It seems he came back to China this time specifically for you."
The news story took a dramatic turn after it began with Zhou Hengzhi's unrequited love for his younger sister, Zhou Jin, who bullied a pregnant woman and accidentally pushed an old lady.
As reporters later interviewed Nanbian Village, everyone came to know this peaceful and simple village, its warm-hearted villagers, its sweet fruits, and the young men who diligently planted roses on the red soil.
Su Yuanzheng was given many close-up shots by reporters because he is so handsome...
Netizen: Such a handsome man, I would be willing to abandon the Zhou family's heir and marry him!
"How can you say such shameless things? He's my husband!"
"Get out of the way, my... my..."
"Are you crazy? Is the Zhou family's heir rich?" A bunch of people below cursed her.
"Is it really that materialistic? Do you only care about money?"
"That's right. No matter how capable the Zhou family's heir is, if his character is bad, he's already finished!"
Netizens gave Zhou Hengzhi a nickname: Zhou Huhu (周糊糊).
Xia Yutong was sitting at home when she was suddenly overwhelmed with laughter. She lay on her bed, rolling around and twisting into a maggot-like shape as she laughed.
Netizens these days are so talented, Zhou Huhu...
The original protagonist in the original story was absolutely tortured by Zhou Hengzhi. Although it's possible she brought it on herself, Zhou Hengzhi was truly a scumbag...
Now, it's all over, Zhou Huhu.
Xia Yutong opened the comments section and found that netizens had even created memes. A handsome photo of Zhou Hengzhi, with his dashing profile, was mocked by netizens as a sleazy man.
There were also photos of Su Yuanzheng taken by reporters. Su Yuanzheng looked impatient as he worked while being secretly photographed by reporters.
The man frowned, exuding a somewhat cold and aloof air, which led netizens to affectionately call him "husband."
Xia Yutong followed suit, commenting, "Stop arguing, he's my husband."
Then a group of people started competing with her. Xia Yutong initially responded with a few words, but the power of netizens was too great, and it was difficult for her to fight against them alone. Xia Yutong had no choice but to put down her phone, still with a smile on her face.
Before she knew it, it was almost evening. The setting sun shone on the yellow earth as she watched the reporters leave Nanbian Village one by one.
The villagers' enthusiasm probably made them feel embarrassed; it was likely that after so many years as reporters, this was the first time they had received such VIP treatment.
To ensure a good reception, each villager contributed something, and at noon they even hired a village cook who specializes in all kinds of dishes to help with the meal. The cook was also a villager, and he did this for free, bringing honor to the village. The ingredients were all contributed by everyone, and the reporters were treated very well.
The incident of Zhou Jin assaulting Old Lady Zhang has come to a perfect end. Zhou Hengzhi's reputation has been completely ruined, and the Zhou family has suffered many blows as a result, attracting everyone's attention and uncovering several unfinished building projects...
Left with no other option, Zhou Hengzhi, along with his father Zhou Jinhai and mother Bai Lamei, held a press conference to unilaterally apologize for occupying public resources. At the same time, he stated that the unfinished building project would eventually be resolved in due time.
The reporter asked, "When will we expect to see the results that Mr. Zhou mentioned?"
"We are working on an internal coordination. Thank you for your concern, and we are deeply sorry for this!"
Zhou Hengzhi looked sincere. Although he apologized, it was impossible to completely eliminate the impact. Zhou's public relations team was destined to stay up all night.
On the other hand, Su Yuanzheng is living a terrible life, and netizens say they see the most authentic side of men in him.
"I love his eyes, they're so clear."
"So youthful and raw, with a rugged, manly vibe, and such a great physique..."
"Even though her clothes are just average, she has such a great presence!"
Su Yuanzheng didn't check his phone. He just felt that he had worked all day and been chased by reporters taking pictures, and that was all he knew.
During dinner that evening, Su Qinglian teased, "My handsome younger brother is back! Yuanzheng, you're famous now!"
Su Yuanzheng asked, "What?"
"Online, many people say you're handsome and are vying to marry you!"
Su Yuanzheng was taken aback. No wonder the old men and women who loved to post jokes were also teasing him on the way back.
"You've brought honor to our village. Netizens say that young people should be like you: down-to-earth, hardworking, diligent, observant, and most importantly, a graduate of a prestigious university who hasn't forgotten his roots."
Su Yuanzheng was baffled. "A prestigious university?"
"Yes, someone found out that you graduated from a prestigious university, the best university in Haicheng. Everyone is praising you!"
After a day of working in the fields, Su Yuanzheng's muscles ached all over. Xia Yutong moved a chair and sat under a tree in front of her house, looking at her with a smile.
"My dear brother, Yuanzheng, I never expected you to be so popular. It's a pity, netizens all feel it's a pity, it's a pity you're already taken."
Su Qinglian grinned from ear to ear, holding her phone. "Look, look here! This person said that if you get a divorce, all they'll do is say, 'Everyone will line up in Nanbian Village to marry you.'"
Su Yuanzheng glanced at Su Qinglian, his expression serious. "Sister, don't talk nonsense."
"This isn't what I said, it's what netizens said..."
"Stop following the crowd!"
He wasn't interested in any of that; all he wanted was money.
Only when he has money will his woman not suffer any grievances.
Walking over to Xia Yutong, Su Yuanzheng sat down and said, "Don't pay attention to what those people are saying."
"Um……"
Su Yuanzheng added, "I was just lucky."
Xia Yutong looked at her, and the man reached out and touched her face. When their eyes met, their worlds could only contain each other.
